Yes!
This is one of my favorite PS1 classics. The branching story, the amazing battle system, damn good plot (minus some incomprehensible jargon) and it even had a reproduction of the internet... Like, you could go to sites and “hack” them to get money/parts or go to shady BBSes and talk to (NPC) people.

It probably has something to do with most whites in other countries having to, at one point or another, reckon with all the bloodshed and evil their ancestors have wrought on the world, on some level.

There are white people who have no problem with telling you what’s wrong with the “black community,” but try to tell them what’s wrong with the “white community,” and they can’t get that “not all...” out of their mouths fast enough. On the Venn, it’s an over lapping circle.

...when swimming in shark-infested waters or walking through a snake pit, it would be stupid to tell yourself “not all sharks...” or “not all snakes...” and assume that you won’t be bitten.

I love your writing and hate the mail you get while loving the Friday clapback.

Utah “Jazz” I’ll never get used to that. They should really ransom that back to New Orleans and become the Utah Pioneers or Mormans or some such.

There’s a reason that no “choose your own adventure” books are literary classics. :)

Every game’s trying to be the only game you play. Even annual franchises like Assasin’s Creed. It’s just not sustainable.

I’ve found that the length of games really means that I can easily wait until a game goes on sale; if it takes me 200 hours to “finish” a few games, that’s a huge chunk of time and I can bet that by the time I finish those games, another few games with similar play time will have gone on sale.

This is actually hurting game sales. I haven’t played a new game in like 6 months because I still have about 10 hours left of BotW, two Witcher DLC’s...I just finished the HZD DLC, but I want to FINISH THOSE GAMES, dammit.

I had this exact experience with Breath of the Wild. The art direction is superb, but I wish they had spent less time on the breadth (pun intended) of the game, and more on the depth.  Witcher 3 had the right balance, and I think that Zelda could have benefitted from copying its focus.

Jay Smooth said Beyonce is Morris Day and Jay-Z was Jerome. This .gif is definitive proof of that.

I starred this in the other article too. I’ll likely star it every single time I see it, cause your point will always be a relevant one.

A put this in the other article, but I’ll put it here too.

for the record, the chromebook is my travel laptop. it costs like six dollars and does everything my macbook pro does. in fact, here is a pic of my chromebook and i partaking in our favorite activity.

The friend zone, much like the cake, is a lie.

I just wanted to chime in on the friend zone thing Preston mentioned. If you complain that a girl put you in the “friend zone”, that’s you thinking life works like a John Hughes movie. Tell a woman you’re interested in her. Don’t hope that she’ll someday realize what a great guy you are. Be direct, and don’t be a…

Making mountains out of molehills is the point of the internet. That and porn. Also right wing lies.

Oh I know that. But for most people, third-wave Ska is Ska

Ska is originally Jamaican. Bob Marley was in a ska band before reggae developed IIRC.
